Starburst galaxies:

Physics
1 answer:
alexgriva [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

are often associated with a galaxy that is colliding with another galaxy.

Explanation:

A starburst galaxy is a galaxy that undergoes very fast formation of stars. The rate at which stars are born is 100 times more than 3 solar masses per year of the Milky Way. The starburst is stage of the formation of a galaxy. After this stage is complete the stars will have used almost all the gas in it. As the star formation rate is very fast the difference between the age of the stars and the galaxy itself is very less. The star formation is triggered by mergers and tidal interactions between gas-rich galaxies.

An electron moving to the left at 0.8c collides with a photon moving to the right. After the collision, the electron is moving t
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Wavelength = 2.91 x 10⁻¹² m, Energy = 6.8 x 10⁻¹⁴

Explanation:

In order to show that a free electron can’t completely absorb a photon, the equation for relativistic energy and momentum will be needed, along the equation for the energy and momentum of a photon. The conservation of energy and momentum will also be used.

E = y(u) mc²

Here c is the speed of light in vacuum and y(u) is the Lorentz factor

y(u) = 1/√[1-(u/c)²], where u is the velocity of the particle

The relativistic momentum p of an object of mass m and velocity u is given by

p = y(u)mu

Here y(u) being the Lorentz factor

The energy E of a photon of wavelength λ is

E = hc/λ, where h is the Planck’s constant 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s and c being the speed of light in vacuum 3 x 108m/s

The momentum p of a photon of wavelenght λ is,

P = h/λ

If the electron is moving, it will start the interaction with some momentum and energy already. Momentum of the electron and photon in the initial and final state is

p(pi) + p(ei) = p(pf) + p(ef), equation 1, where p refers to momentum and the e and p in the brackets refer to proton and electron respectively

The momentum of the photon in the initial state is,

p(pi) = h/λ(i)

The momentum of the electron in the initial state is,

p(ei) = y(i)mu(i)

The momentum of the electron in the final state is

p(ef) = y(f)mu(f)

Since the electron starts off going in the negative direction, that momentum will be negative, along with the photon’s momentum after the collision

Rearranging the equation 1 , we get

p(pi) – p(ei) = -p(pf) +p(ef)

Substitute h/λ(i) for p(pi) , h/λ(f) for p(pf) , y(i)mu(i) for p(ei), y(f)mu(f) for p(ef) in the equation 1 and solve

h/λ(i) – y(i)mu(i) = -h/λ(f) – y(f)mu(f), equation 2

Next write out the energy conservation equation and expand it

E(pi) + E(ei) = E(pf) + E(ei)

Kinetic energy of the electron and photon in the initial state is

E(p) + E(ei) = E(ef), equation 3

The energy of the electron in the initial state is

E(pi) = hc/λ(i)

The energy of the electron in the final state is

E(pf) = hc/λ(f)

Energy of the photon in the initial state is

E(ei) = y(i)mc2, where y(i) is the frequency of the photon int the initial state

Energy of the electron in the final state is

E(ef) = y(f)mc2

Substitute hc/λ(i) for E(pi), hc/λ(f) for E(pf), y(i)mc² for E(ei) and y(f)mc² for E(ef) in equation 3

Hc/λ(i) + y(i)mc² = hc/λ(f) + y(f)mc², equation 4

Solve the equation for h/λ(f)

h/λ(i) + y(i)mc = h/λ(f) + y(f)mc

h/λ(f) = h/lmda(i) + (y(i) – y(f)c)m

Substitute h/λ(i) + (y(i) – y(f)c)m for h/λ(f)  in equation 2 and solve

h/λ(i) -y(i)mu(i) = -h/λ(f) + y(f)mu(f)

h/λ(i) -y(i)mu(i) = -h/λ(i) + (y(f) – y(i))mc + y(f)mu(f)

Rearrange to get all λ(i) terms on one side, we get

2h/λ(i) = m[y(i)u(i) +y(f)u(f) + (y(f) – y(i)c)]

λ(i) = 2h/[m{y(i)u(i) + y(f)u(f) + (y(f) – y(i))c}]

λ(i) = 2h/[m.c{y(i)(u(i)/c) + y(f)(u(f)/c) + (y(f) – y(i))}]

Calculate the Lorentz factor using u(i) = 0.8c for y(i) and u(i) = 0.6c for y(f)

y(i) = 1/[√[1 – (0.8c/c)²] = 5/3

y(f) = 1/√[1 – (0.6c/c)²] = 1.25

Substitute 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s for h, 0.511eV/c2 = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg for m, 5/3 for y(i), 0.8c for u(i), 1.25 for y(f), 0.6c for u(f), and 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c in the equation derived for λ(i)

λ(i) = 2h/[m.c{y(i)(u(i)/c) + y(f)(u(f)/c) + (y(f) – y(i))}]

λ(i) = 2(6.63 x 10-34)/[(9.11 x 10-31)(3 x 108){(5/3)(0.8) + (1.25)(0.6) + ((1.25) – (5/3))}]

λ(i) = 2.91 x 10⁻¹² m

So, the initial wavelength of the photon was 2.91 x 10-12 m

Energy of the incoming photon is

E(pi) = hc/λ(i)

E(pi) = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴)(3 x 10⁸)/(2.911 x 10⁻¹²) = 6.833 x 10⁻¹⁴ = 6.8 x 10⁻¹⁴

So the energy of the photon is 6.8 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

A car moving with an initial speed of 25 m/s slows down to a speed of 5 m/s in 10 seconds Calculate a) the acceleration of the c
stealth61 [152]

Answer :

(a) The acceleration  of the car is, -2m/s^2

(b) The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

Explanation :  

By the 1st equation of motion,

v=u+at ...........(1)

where,

v = final velocity = 5 m/s

u = initial velocity  = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration  of the car = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation 1, we get:

5m/s=25m/s+a\times (10s)

a=-2m/s^2

The acceleration  of the car is, -2m/s^2

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2 ...........(2)

where,

s = distance covered by the car = ?

u = initial velocity  = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration  of the car = -2m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above equation 2, we get:

s=(25m/s)\times (10s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-2m/s^2)\times (10s)^2

By solving the term, we get:

s=150m

The distance covered by the car is, 150 m
